Basin Notes
The County of Santa Cruz will serve as the GSA for this “basin” until such time as the CASGEM priority is determined for the revised basin boundary. It is anticipated that the priority will drop from medium to low or very low as this area is not a groundwater basin and does not support significant groundwater use.
